Which LPG limousine?

I'm after a luxury LPG motor for under £5k. What would you choose? Thinking Jaguar (XJ or S-Type), Lexus LS 300 or Mercedes S-Class.

Definitely not a W220S Class. These are usually rust riddled electronic nightmares. Maybe a Lexus LS430 if you can find one already and properly converted. The problem is that up until fairly recently any Tom, Dick or Harry could carry out an LPG conversion and there were a lot of cowboy installations. Now installation is regulated, can only be done by approves installers, and has to be properly tested, so a new installation for the cars you list could cost £2k or more.
